In 1925, Jack Hobbs made history at The Oval by surpassing W.G. Grace’s record of 126 career centuries. The spectators showed their admiration by throwing their bowler hats in the air, paying tribute to the Surrey legend. Fast forward to the present day, where cricket fans continue to show their respect for the game’s greats. During a recent IPL match at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium, spectators wore white Test jerseys as a gesture of homage to Virat Kohli’s illustrious Test career. However, their celebration was cut short by rain.
The ultimate tribute for Kohli would be for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to win the IPL trophy. With RCB qualifying for the playoffs five times in the last six seasons, they are in a position akin to an escape artist trying to pull off a daring trick. Their next challenge is facing Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Ekana stadium in Lucknow, with a top-two finish in the league table at stake.
Sunrisers Hyderabad recently achieved a remarkable feat by successfully chasing a target of 206 runs against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana stadium. RCB, on the other hand, is eager to get back to their winning ways after a week-long break and an abandoned match. The anticipation is high as fans wait to see if RCB can finally clinch the elusive IPL trophy.
